Product Reviews

Okay look, if you like simplistic games that don't take much
thought, get a pen and paper and play tic-tac-toe or use your
hands and play rock, paper, scissors. I'm sorry, but in my view if
you spend $20+ on a commercially produced game that does little
more than put these simple games in a nice box with nice
cardboard game pieces you have more money than sense.

I've tried a number of these German style games and every
single one (with the exception of Reiner Knizia's Lord of the Rings
game) was a waste of money - played once and found too simple
or too boring. I really don't see their appeal. This game is no
exception. Maybe it's me, but I just don't get any immersion from
games like this - the game themes always seem tacked-on. I'm
no hardcore 20-page rules fan by any means, but when I spend
$20+ on a game I want a bit more complexity than I get from a
game like Monopoly.

I bought this game based on the recommendations from the
other reviewers on this site. My group of regular boardgamers
gave it a try and we hated it, even before we were even half
way through we all had already decided it was going on
the 'won't play again' list.

It has been several months since we played it so it is hard to
remember the specifics. I think we felt that there were a lot of
odd aspects to the rules which felt random and arbitrary.
Bascially, the game feels like it is oriented towards kids or for
family/casual boardgame players, but the rules are too complex
to really appeal to them, while serious boardgamers who won't
be put off by the odd rules will find the 'play' less than
entertaining.

I am sure there are those who like this game, but there are
many games out there so much better than this one.

though not one of our very very favorites, it is nevertheless a fun
game, and something different to play sometimes. the board and
graphics are fun. it is just a bit repetitive, which dulls the play a
bit, but a fun game to play with people who are not quite as serious,
and just want to have some fun.

i think there could be some variations with could help the game, and
maybe they will come out with some new versions of rules, or
enhancments to buy. who knows.
